A unique yet practical resource, with worksheets and lesson plans, this book provides primary teachers with a global outline of Black history, life, and culture within the framework of the UKs National Curriculum.
Rather than reserving the teaching of Black history to Black history month, Black narratives deserve to be seen and integrated into every aspect of the school curriculum. A unique yet practical resource, Global Black Narratives for the Classroom addresses this issue by providing primary teachers with a global outline of Black history, culture and life within the framework of the UKs National Curriculum.
Each topic explored in this essential book provides teachers and teaching assistants with historical, geographic and cultural context to build confidence when planning and teaching. Full lesson plans and printable worksheets are incorporated into each topic, alongside tips to build future lessons in line with the themes explored.
Volume II of this book explores the following parts:
- Part 1 guides teachers through planning and delivering lessons focused on Africa. Pupils will benefit from developing a diverse and accurate understanding of the changing nature of Africa throughout history, linking the continents social history with its geographical features.
- Part 2 The Caribbean, builds upon the lesson plans of Part 1 to further highlight the interconnectedness of diaspora cultures in influencing the musical, visual and religious practices of the Caribbean and Central America.
- Part 3 begins by addressing the incorrect assumption that the history of Black people in the Americas begins and ends with plantation slavery. Instead, this section proposes a range of in-depth lesson plans on the diverse histories, cultures and experiences of Black people within the United States.
Created by BLAM UK, this highly informative yet practical resource is an essential read for any teacher, teaching assistant or senior leader who wishes to diversify their curriculum and address issues of Black representation within their school. It is published in two practical and comprehensive volumes. Volume 1 covers Britain and Europe, whilst Volume 2 includes Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean. Each volume can be used individually for teaching but when used together they provide a truly global perspective on black history and culture.

A fantastic, informative and eclectic collection of Global Black Narratives which will enrich the minds and cultural experiences of students and teachers alike. Extremely well researched with engaging resources from teaching, historical and lived experience experts. A must have for schools who are serious about teaching and affirming the heritage and history of all their students and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion."

An exceptional wealth of relevant historical knowledge that all children should have access to. This book is an excellent resource and provides a great building block for educators to use as part of developing an inclusive and relevant curriculum.
Nadine Bernard, Youngest Black Headteacher in the UK, Van Gogh Primary School Headteacher and Founder of Aspiring Heads
This is a groundbreaking approach to a history that has been ignored and misrepresented. It is original in its approach and comprehensive in its scope. Both Teacher and student will be enlightened and enriched by its content. Outstanding and Essential.
